Researchers have developed an ultra-thin brain chip capable of continuously streaming neural signals directly into artificial intelligence systems in real time.
This is not brain stimulation.
This is not therapy prompting.
This is the direct recording of electrical activity from the human brain — captured, digitized, and analyzed by AI.
In this episode of Physics or Bust, we break down the physics and engineering behind a new class of brain-computer interface, explain how it fundamentally differs from light-based optogenetic interfaces, and examine what this technology can realistically do today — and what it cannot.
